In modern housing designs, air conditioners are not only cooling and heating devices but also a key part of the overall spatial aesthetics. As the trends of "invisible design," "all-in-one home appliances", etc. are emerging, it becomes a hot topic among more and more consumers and designers of how to keep the air conditioner meeting the comfort needs and adhering to the indoor decoration style simultaneously.

I. Why do air conditioners need "style matching"?

In the past, air conditioners were regarded as functional appliances, and people did not care about their installation and appearance. Nowadays, consumers pay more attention to the spatial harmony and visual cleanliness. Here are what they concern mainly:

· The indoor unit location affects indoor aesthetics and visual balance;

· The indoor unit color and material affect the unity of the room style;

· The indoor unit noise and airflow affect comfort and experience.

II. Air conditioning matching suggestions for different decoration styles

1. Modern minimalist style

· Features: Simple lines and elegant colors with emphasis on functionality.

· Suggested AC types: ceiling concealed duct air conditioners and ceiling concealed cassette air conditioners.

· Selection advice: Pure white color and silver gray panels can combine together with the style of ceilings and walls.

2. Nordic style

· Features: Natural wood with warmness, bright space with comfort.

· Suggested AC types: Wall mounted air conditioner (round shape), concealed duct type air conditioner.

· Selection advice: Off-white, light gray, or matte finish cases—these colors can match with the wooden background, creating a natural visual transition.

3. New Chinese style

· Features: Fusion with wood and metal, systematic layout, classical charm.

· Suggested AC types: DC/full DC inverter VRF central air conditioning system, ultra-slim duct type air conditioners.

· Selection advice: Hidden installation with slim-line air outlet; choose models with mirror texture to complement the overall metal design.

III. Principles of color and material matching

· Unity Principle: The indoor unit color should be adherable to the walls, furniture, and metal devices.

· Understated Principle: In public spaces, the more invisible the air conditioner, the more high-profile the space.

· Material Coordination: Matte panel air conditioners are suitable for wooden spaces; glossy and silver-gray panels are suitable for metal spaces.

· Consistent Lines: The direction of the air vents should be parallel to the lighting troughs and ceiling lines.

IV. Advantages of invisible installation

In recent years, more and more families choose central air conditioners with invisible installation. The reasons for this option are

· Elegance and cleanliness: With the air outlet visible only, the installation do not disturb the overall decor;

· Flexible layout: The air outlet can be integrated with LED strips and curtain boxes;

· Quietness and comfort: The outdoor unit is placed far away, keeping a quiet indoor environment.

For light commercial and high-end residential applications, the KRG ceiling concealed duct air conditioner has become the mainstream choice, meeting both design and performance requirements with its ultra-thin body and high energy efficiency.

The comfort and design of an air conditioner is now becoming an indispensable part of modern home decors. A good air conditioning matching solution can not only beautify our homes but also comfort us.

From "installing an air conditioner" to "designing a comfortable space," this represents the evolution of modern home design.

In the cooling and air conditioning systems, the heating exchanger (condenser) determines the cooling performance of the entire machine. While there are many factors that influence heat exchange efficiency, the copper pipe structure is absolutely the most important procedure. With the continuous increase of high-efficiency standards (like ERP in the EU and AHRI in America), traditional smooth copper pipes are not sufficient to meet the high-efficiency demands from the air conditioning systems. In that case, the inner grooved copper pipe had been developed and quickly become the core material of the high-efficiency heating exchanger in the new generation.

I. What is the "Inner Grooved Copper Pipe"?

Inner grooved copper pipe is to add uniform spiral grooves on walls inside of the copper pipe, forming a structure similar to "micro-threads". This increases its contact area with the refrigerant, significantly changes the state of refrigerant flow, and improves the heating transfer coefficient in the process of evaporation and condensation.

Compared with traditional smooth copper pipe, it has the following features:

· Enlarged inside surface by 20%-60%;

· Increased fluid disturbance leads to increased turbulence;

· Promotes the formation of a uniform film of refrigerant on the inner wall;

· Reduce gas-liquid stratification and improve evaporation efficiency.

II. Analysis of heat transfer mechanisms

Its high heat exchange performance is conducted by the following three mechanisms:

Enhanced Turbulence Effect

The inner groove design forces the production of rotation and turbulence during the flow of refrigerant, which makes more fluid directly contact the inner piping wall, improving the working efficiency of the air conditioners.

Thin Film Evaporation Effect

The thickness of refrigerant liquid film determines the heat transfer resistance in the evaporator. Its spiral design could promote the liquid film with an average distribution between the grooves, which could reduce the dry spots and improve the evaporating uniformity.

Capillary Action and Liquid Redistribution

When the pipes are placed at an angle or vertically, the spiral grooves force the refrigerant liquid to flow upward with the help of capillary adhesion, avoiding a liquid accumulation at the bottom and increasing the entire heat transfer uniformity.

III. Improvement to the air conditioning system  efficiency

Abundant research and experimentation show that:

· 30%-70% increase of the heat transfer coefficient on the evaporators and condensers;

· 15%-20% reduced heat exchange areas under the same exchange capacity;

· 5%-10% increased EER/COP of the whole unit;

· 10%-15% reduced charging weight of the refrigerant.

This means that, under the premise of meeting energy conservation regulations, enterprises could achieve miniaturized design, lightweight production and cost optimization

IV. Applications

Inner grooved copper pipes are widely used nowadays, particularly in wall mounted air conditioners, floor standing AC units, light commercial VRF systems, heat pump water heaters, air-sourced heating appliances, freezers, and so on. For those with high requirements of energy efficiency, inner grooved copper pipes are the basic options for the cooling systems, such as the R32 and R290 series products.

The appearance of the inner grooved copper pipe represents not only a structural innovation in cooling technology but also an absolute result for the upgrade of the energy conservation standards. For the air conditioners with high-efficiency pursuit, the inner grooved copper pipe had become an indispensable core material for their heating exchange design.

In recent years, the heatwave had occurred frequently across the globe. 2024 is one of the hottest years in meteorological record, as many cities had a temperature of more than 40℃ for continuous days. Under such extreme weather conditions, the use of air conditioners rises up sharply. But in the meantime, it also exposed an interesting phenomenon: the more popularized the air conditioners of the city, the "weaker" it would be when facing the heatwave. 

So, can the rate of air conditioning use indicate the urban heatwave vulnerability?

I. Contradiction between surface cooling and systematic heating

The air conditioners truly mitigated the threat from heatwaves individually. For civilians, lowering down the indoor temperature relates to the insurance of life and health, but for the urban system, the popularization of air conditioners will lead to opposite effects:

Cumulative effect for heat emission

When cooling, the air conditioner will exhaust the interior heat to the exterior, making the city temperature higher and higher at night. Research shows that in densely air-conditioned urban areas, nighttime ground temperatures can be 1–2°C higher than in the surrounding areas.

Surged energy burden

During the heatwaves, the electricity demand surges and the city grid shoulders a great burden. Once the power outage occurs, it will lead to "temperature backlash"—the areas that deeply rely on air conditioners will be the most dangerous.

Unbalanced spatial distribution

In high-profile and commercial districts, there are complete cooling systems, while for low-income groups or old districts with a lack of air conditioning or stable electricity supply, these are the heat wave vulnerable areas.

So, the air conditioning penetration rate seems to show the ability of heat resistance; in fact, it may reveal the city's degree of reliance on heatwaves and the risk imbalance.

II. The gap from "own air conditioners" to "withstand heatwaves"

1. Air conditioning penetration ≠ heatwave safety

The higher popularization rate means citizens rely more on mechanical cooling. Once the extreme conditions occur (such as power cuts, appliance malfunctions, and insufficient water supply), the whole city will face a high-temperature crisis. For example, during a power outage in some Indian cities in 2022, there were numerous cases of heatstroke in hospitals and senior citizen communities.

2. Enlarged fragility of the energy system

During the heatwaves, the peak demand of air conditioning units is usually 40%~50% higher than normal. If there is no redundant design of the city grid or the support of new energy, such peak value will increase the system risk.

3. The superposition of urban heat island effect

When the emitted heat from the air conditioners accumulates among the dense buildings, it will strengthen the heat island effect. As a result, people use air conditioners to cool in the daytime and are surrounded by the exhausted heat at nighttime. Such circulation makes cities more passive regarding climate.

III. Air conditioner penetration rate: a sign of "vulnerability"

It's better to regard the air conditioner penetration rate as a vulnerability signal of the climate rather than an index of anti-heat. In high-income and high-penetration-rate cities, it represents an excessive reliance on the cooling system; once it fails to work, the risk increases manyfold. In low-income and low-penetration-rate regions, it exposes the lack of basic means of cooling among citizens and a higher risk of heatstroke, dehydration, etc.

So, there is a "bimodal relationship" between the air conditioning penetration rate and heatwave vulnerability. Too low a rate means a lack of heat protection, and too high a rate reflects the excessive reliance. A really safe city should be equipped with diversifiable mechanisms except for the air conditioning.

IV. Redefine the standards of the "anti-heat city."

It's not enough only to improve the air conditioner penetration rate to reduce the urban heatwave vulnerability from the basis, but also to optimize the structure:

Passive cooling design of the buildings:

Wall insulation, ventilation optimization, reflective roof materials, green roofs, etc.

Diversified energy structure:

Solar air conditioners, energy storage systems, intelligent power grids, and other ways can reduce the burden of the city grid.

Temperature balance in public spaces:

Add cooling centers and shade facilities to old districts, schools, bus stations, and so on.

Climate-monitored urban management:

By timely supervising heat wave exposure and power load to preview the conditions, cooling resources can be scheduled in advance to form a dynamic defense system.

V. KRG's perspective: convert "cooling demand" into "climate adaptation"—a prolonged mindset

As a brand focusing on high-efficiency air conditioning solutions, KRG believes that air conditioning will not only provide cold air but also help cities cope with heatwaves in a more intelligent and more sustainable way.

· We are now developing high-efficiency air conditioning products with low emissions, aiming to contribute to the urban heat islands.

· We are now pushing intelligent control systems with load management technologies to make cooling devices with flexible operation.

· We are now focusing on solutions against heatwaves in developing countries, hoping to reduce the reliance on energy for cooling.

Sometimes, all you need is the right sofa to transform your house into a home.

In the past, people bought air conditioners according to their cooling performance and energy efficiency, but nowadays more and more customers focus on what the machine looks like or even want it invisible after installation. And that's what's currently trending in the air conditioning design field—"invisible design."

I. What is the "invisible design"?

The so-called "invisible design" is not to make the air conditioner disappear but to naturally combine it with the space by means of design, installation, and structural innovation, making it not the center of vision. Such as:

· Air outlet combine with the ceiling, like ceiling cassette air conditioners and duct type air conditioners;

· The thinner and thinner AC body and the more and more narrow frame, like the wall mounted air conditioners;

· Metal brushed or mirror finish processes are adopted to unify the design with the home style, like floor standing air conditioners;

· Reduce the presence of the outdoor unit through a hidden grille, noise reduction, and miniaturized design.

These methods of invisible design are not only an aesthetic change but more of a whole upgrade from function to experience.

II. Why are the "invisible air conditioners" more and more popular?

1. The awakening of spatial aesthetics

Minimalism and invisible design are two mainstreams in modern home decor. Customers want every piece of home appliance to have coherence with the overall style, instead of standing out in the way.

Air conditioners exposed with their body are regarded as a visual burden, particularly in living rooms, open kitchens, and high-end commercial spaces.

2. Technical progress makes invisibility possible

Restricted by the compressor size, method of drainage, the control of airflow, and other technologies, the air conditioners in the past could not achieve invisibility. But now, the ultra-slim design, adjustable air deflector, modularized piping, and silent ducting technology make the air conditioners concealed when installed and efficient when operating, achieving "a fading existence but an upgraded comfort."

3. Upgrading of consumer aesthetics

The major consuming groups are Generation Z and middle-class families, who focus more on "quality" and "experience." As for them, air conditioning is not just a temperature regulator but more of a consistent part of spatial atmosphere. In case of that, beyond the energy consumption and cooling capacity, what they are also concerned about are:

· Is its airflow gentle?

· Does it affect the overall home decor?

· Can it "exist quietly"?

4. Visual requirements for commercial spaces

If the air conditioning equipment is obvious in the room, it will affect the spatial atmosphere in places such as premium hotels, restaurants, KTVs, cinemas, and so on. So the designers prefer the air conditioning solutions that include cassette type and ceiling mounted type air conditioners and linear air outlets to hide inside the buildings. The invisible design had become the fundamental element in high-profile commercial spaces.

III. Behind the "invisible design" lies a competition of brand technological strength.

To achieve real invisibility, it's not just an exchange on the outlook but the appearance of ability for the systematic engineering design, including:

· Precise airflow simulation and static pressure control;

· Matching with a high-efficiency compressor;

· Modular structure for easy installation and maintenance;

· Noise reduction and vibration suppression technology;

· Integration with an intelligent control system (APP remote control, voice adjustment, seamless start).

This is an upgrade for the brand from manufacturing- to design-driven.

For example, brands such as KRG that focus on export markets are gradually introducing product lines such as "ultra-thin ceiling machines" and "hidden duct machines" to meet the hidden needs of different spaces.

IV. Future Trends: From "Invisible Appearance" to "Invisible Interaction"

The invisibility of the air conditioner will not only be on the appearance but more on the operation in the future.

· Automatic balance of temperature and humidity;

· Human sensing and intelligent wind direction;

· Integrated voice and App control;

· Link to home systems seamlessly (such as lighting, curtains, and air quality).

This means the air conditioner will evolve from an individual appliance to a comfort system with silence, intelligence, and invisibility.

Invisibility is about to make the air conditioning become a part of life more naturally, not to lose its existence. If the technology and aesthetics combine together, then the visibility of the comfortable airflow experience will be unnecessary, instead of feeling. This is the highest level of modern air conditioning design.

As the development of the air conditioning and heat pump systems is moving toward high efficiency, miniaturization, and intelligent direction, the problem of thermal management inside of the compressor has become increasingly prominent. High-frequency speed, enclosed structures, and high power density—these heating generation challenges are questioning the reliability and lifespan of the compressor.

Among many of the new materials, graphene, with its ultra-high thermal conductivity and excellent mechanical properties, is becoming a new focus in compressor cooling technology.

I. Pain point of compressor heat dissipation

As the heart of the air conditioning systems, the compressor will generate a lot of heat from its components, such as the compression chamber, winding, motor, and power module. 

Particularly the compressor for inverter air conditioners, whose frequent speed adjustment and high current density make its heat generation transparent.

If the heat dissipation is poor, it will lead to:

· Motor insulation aging and efficiency decline;

· Deterioration of lubricating oil and exacerbation of friction and wear;

· High cylinder temperature leads to unstable exhaust pressure;

· The electronic control module is overheated and damaged.

The traditional heat dissipation method mainly relies on metal heat conduction and oil/air cooling structure but is limited by thermal conductivity and volume, making it difficult to balance efficient heat dissipation and compact structure.

II. Graphene: A Revolutionary Nanoscale Thermal Conductivity

Graphene, a two-dimensional crystalline material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms, has the following features in thermophysics:

· Its excellent chemical stability and flexibility allow it to be composited with a variety of substrate materials.

· It is ultra-thin and lightweight, enabling efficient heat transfer at micron-level thicknesses;

· Thermal conductivity reaches as high as 5000 W/m·K (compared to approximately 400 W/m·K for copper);

· It possesses both electrical and thermal conductivity, facilitating thermal management in motors and power modules.

· In case of that, graphene is becoming an ideal material for thermal interfaces and heat dissipation enhancers for compressors.

III. The main applications of graphene in compressors

1. Heat dissipation of motor windings and stator

As for the inverter air conditioners, the key factor of the compressors at lower performance is the heating of the motor winding. Adding a graphene composite resin coating to the insulation layer of the winding could improve the thermal conductivity efficiency between the stator and the casing, thus reducing the temperature by 5-10℃. This not only improves motor efficiency (IE level) but also extends insulation lifespan.

2. Thermal interface of electronic control module (PCB/IGBT)

Replacing the traditional silicone grease or aluminum oxide fillers, graphene thermal conductive film is usually adopted between motherboards and the heat sinks, which has lower thermal resistance and better thermal stability. It significantly drops the temperature of the boards in the air conditioners.

3. Heat dissipation enhancement coating for compressor casing

A graphene composite coating can cover the compressor casing surface, forming a high thermal conductivity and radiation heat dissipation composite layer. When operating at high ambient temperature (>45°C), the coating can accelerate the heat release of the shell and prevent the oil temperature from being too high.

4. Lubricant additives and optimization of thermal conductivity

Adding graphene nanoparticles to refrigeration oil has been attempted in some research, aiming to improve the thermal conductivity and wear resistance.

Research shows that oil film has an improved thermal conductivity of 30% and a friction coefficient of 10%.

IV. Technical Challenges and Engineering Breakthroughs

Although graphene has broad application prospects, mass application in compressors still needs time to overcome many challenges:

· Dispersion and interface bonding issues:

Graphene has the feature to aggregate easily, which makes it hard to distribute evenly and necessitates surface modification or composite technology.

· Cost for both provider and consumers:

Graphene materials are more expensive than traditional ones, making it a challenge to balance the performance and cost.

· Stability:

It is unknown whether or not the graphene layer will detach or react in high-temperature, high-pressure, and oil-gas mixed environments. It takes time to proof.

In the future, the compressors will no longer rely on large metal blocks but will be optimized through special materials to achieve micro thermal conductivity. As a new generation of thermal management material, graphene will be combined with AI control and intelligent temperature sensing technology to achieve higher COP and more stable operating conditions for the air conditioning units.

Nowadays, the competition in the air conditioning market is becoming more and more fierce, while large-capacity and high-energy-efficiency machines seem to be the mainstream. But in the meantime, a new trend is silently emerging-- the small-capacity machines. They do not mean to be backward to the "lower class," but instead to redefine the balance of comfort and efficiency in more niche and precise application scenarios.

I. New demands from spatial fragmentation

As the spaces diversify in both residential and commercial use, the large-scale cooling and heating situations will be replaced with fragmented spaces.

New types of rooms are constantly emerging, such as homestays, mobile houses, shared offices, and so on. Customers are focusing on local comfort and energy consumption control, looking for coolness where they stay rather than whole-room cooling. Light commercial buildings, particularly the small dining halls, barbershops, and other places where the energy-saving and flexible installation is the first concern.

II. Small capacity ≠ Low Performance

In the previous years, small capacity machines meant slow cooling, low energy efficiency, and a short lifespan. But now, the technology innovation is giving them a new life.

The popularization of inverter technology

The adoption of a low-power inverter compressor allows small models to work with low loads and at high efficiency, achieving precise temperature control and energy savings.

High-efficiency heat exchange design

Hydrophilic aluminum foil, internally threaded copper tubes, and other new materials are adopted, allowing its compact structure to have an excellent heat exchange performance.

Smart control

Wi-Fi control, remote monitoring, scheduled operation, and other intelligent operations can be achieved on small air conditioners, providing an uncompromising operating experience.

III. Unique Advantages of Small air conditioners

Low Power Input/Output

9000 BTU (1 horsepower) or less capacity will be sufficient for localized cooling needs. It is better than other large machines in energy efficiency and power consumption.

Flexible installation

Small body, quick installation, and without space limitations. It is suitable for any type of building.

Easy Maintenance, Low Cost of Use

The compact design and standardized components reduce ongoing maintenance and replacement costs, making it ideal for short-term locations such as rental properties and pop-up stores.

In coastal areas, islands, and high-salt environments, the air conditioners often face a severe challenge: salt fog corrosion. A quantity of salty particles in the air will attach to the condenser fins, fan motors, electric boxes, and other positions, resulting in oxidation, short circuits, and performance degradation. Is it possible to keep air conditioners working stably for a long time under such harsh environments? Yes, and it will need a systematic salt fog corrosion prevention design.

I. Mechanism of salt fog Damage

Salt fog corrosion is essentially an electrochemical reaction. When salt vapor adsorbs onto a metal surface, an electrolyte film forms, generating a microcurrent between the anode and cathode, accelerating metal oxidation. This is especially true for fins and piping structures made of copper and aluminum. Once corroded, not only will heat transfer capacity decrease, but it can also lead to refrigerant leakage and system failure.

II. Anti-corrosion for key components

1. Protective Coating

· Hydrophilic Coating: Ensuring less condensate and salt accumulation.

· Epoxy Coating: Ensuring a strong barrier for protection that is suitable for highly salty and humid areas.

· Golden Fin/Blue Fin Technology: Prolong the lifespan of the condenser by adding an anti-rust layer to the surface of the aluminum fins.

2. Structure protection against corrosion

The chassis and outer casing can be galvanized steel with anti-corrosion spray. And stainless steel or rust-resistant alloy screws and connectors are also considerable for the prevention of rust.

3. Electrical Protection

The electric boxes, circuit boards, and other parts need to be waterproof and sealed with conformal coating, ensuring prolonged operation.

III. System Structure and Drainage Optimization

Salty areas normally come with high humidity. In that case, the drainage and evaporation of condensate become more and more important.

By optimizing the drainage slope, setting individual condensation channels, and installing anti-splashback structures, it is possible to prevent salt from flowing back onto the condenser surface. And additionally adding air filter and protective screen can prevent the sea salt particles getting in.

IV. Test and Certification

Professional air conditioners with salt fog resistance normally pass the tests below:

· ISO 9227 Neutral salt fog Test

· ASTM B117 American Standard

· GB/T 10125 Chinese National Standard

The certificates above demonstrate that the air conditioning units could operate well and withstand the high-salt and high-humidity environment.

The design of salt-fog and corrosion-resistant air conditioners is not only a matter of optimization of materials and coating but more of the comprehensive coordination of the system engineering. From screws to the whole machine, every detail determines the equipment's reliability and stability in harsh environments.

Under the dual pressure of the "dual carbon goals" and the energy crisis, countries around the world are accelerating the upgrading of energy efficiency standards, and the air conditioning industry is standing at a new policy turning point.

I. Global energy efficiency standards are becoming stricter: From initiative to mandate

1. The European and American markets are in a leading position: the European Union's implementation of the Energy Related Products Directive (ERP) and the new EPBD, and the United States' promotion of SEER2 standards have significantly raised the energy efficiency access threshold.

2. Emerging markets follow suit: Southeast Asia, Latin America, and other regions have also successively introduced localized energy efficiency labels and minimum energy efficiency value systems. Enterprises that export globally need to adapt to these (energy efficiency) requirements simultaneously.

3. Rising costs of testing and certification: More complex testing processes and certification systems require enterprises to invest more in research and development and compliance budgets.

II. Corporate strategy adjustment under compliance pressure

1. Strengthen R&D investment: Through technological innovations such as high-efficiency compressors, intelligent control systems, and environmentally friendly refrigerants, improve energy efficiency levels to reduce long-term costs.

2. Supply chain collaboration: Jointly develop energy-efficient solutions with parts suppliers to create an energy-saving closed loop throughout the entire process from design to production.

3. Data management: Introduce the deployment of energy consumption monitoring and product life cycle tracking system to ensure that it is always in line with policy requirements. 

III. From "passive coping" to "active transformation"

1. Enterprises should take compliance as an opportunity to enhance brand influence and enhance competitiveness and seize the market share of energy-efficient products.

2. The accelerated tightening of policies will drive an industry reshuffle. Those enterprises that have made early preparations for energy-saving technologies and green manufacturing will benefit first.

The tightening of global energy efficiency policies is not a threat but a driving force for the high-quality development of the air conditioning industry.

As an air conditioner manufacturer, we call on industry partners to join hands and move forward together with higher energy efficiency standards and more environmentally friendly designs to provide truly sustainable heating and cooling solutions for the global market.

In large venues, how to make airflow more comfortable and energy-efficient has always been the core issue in air conditioning design.

I. Special challenges of air conditioning in large spaces

1. Large spatial scale: Exhibition centers and sports venues usually have a height of tens of meters or even dozens of meters, making it difficult for traditional air supply methods to cover the entire area.

2. High population density: When there is a concentration of people, a large amount of heat and moisture is generated, and central air conditioners need to respond quickly to load fluctuations.

3. Wide range of uses: Both to undertake conferences and exhibitions, but also to organize sporting events or performances, different activities for which the requirements for temperature and comfort are significantly different. 

II. Common airflow organization strategies

1. Up-sending and down-returning: The cold air is transported from the high place, gradually sinking and covering the crowd activity area, which is suitable for large spaces such as exhibition halls and stadiums.

2. Bottom supply and top return: Arrange supply air outlets on the ground or in the seating area, allowing air to flow from bottom to top. The cold air directly acts on the areas where people are active. The refrigeration efficiency is higher.

3. Zoned air supply: By zoned control of the air conditioning system, the temperature requirements of different functional areas can be met. Suitable for areas with a large flow of people and venues in other areas that are relatively spacious.

4. Displacement ventilation: Cold air is slowly introduced into the area where people are active, and the polluted air rises and is then discharged. The air quality has improved significantly.

It is often used in conference halls and theaters.

III. Key considerations in airflow organization design

1. Building structure: Ceiling height and spatial form jointly determine the flow direction of airflow. 

2. Crowd distribution: It is necessary to consider the differences in the number of people in the audience area, the activity area, and the stage area. 

3. Using flexibility: Relying on an adjustable tuyere and intelligent control system, it meets the needs of different scenarios.

4. Keeping energy balance: Design with energy-saving equipment and green building standards to reduce operating costs.

The air distribution of large-space air conditioning is not a 'single mode' but a comprehensive scheme based on building structure and use demand.
